CHRISTMAS WREATH COOKIES

Steps:

• Melt butter, add marshmallows. When mixture is smooth, add extracts, coloring, and cereal. Form into wreath shapes, and decorate with red cinnamon imperial candies while mixture is still warm. *Make sure to butter your hands before shaping wreaths, as the mixture is sticky. I've found it easier to use a large scoop or large cooking spoon to drop the mixture onto waxed paper, and then use my index finger to make a hole in the middle while pressing the rest of the mixture into a wreath shape. Let sit until you can lift the whole cookie without it falling apart -- or enjoy them warm and sticky and claim that they just didn't "turn out" ;) The yield depends entirely on how big you make your cookies.
